concord this morning. visibility there reduced to a quarter mile. we are talking about the fog and sunny conditions, the sun comes up 7:13 and setting at 4:51. this time of year we should see plenty of upper 50s and we will see more like lower 60s. a few degrees above the average. nice and quiet today and tomorrow and the next several days. the next chance of rain coming midweek. looks like wednesday a weak system will visit us. otherwise it is cold out there with numbers dropping into the mid-30s. 63 napa. 34 degrees. in livermore don't have the fog yet but what about 37 degrees. and mid-40s at the coast. the warm spot oakland, san francisco, mid-and upper 40s. we are looking at that fog right now from our east bay to the north bay, but it is cloudy in san francisco. so we could see perhaps a few flight delays as the fog settles in and continues to be

transported in from our east bay valleys. so with that, we are also looking at the gusty northeast winds from time to time. so that will keep it cooler by the delta, cooler in the inland valleys but everyone will enjoy sunshine and overall some mild temperatures with a system coming in from the north by tuesday and wednesday. that will drop our temperatures back into the 50s. so here's a look at what you can expect this morning. through the overnight hours, the fog sneaking our way from the sacramento to the san joaquin valley. a dense fog advisory through the delta. we talked about the poor visibility locally here. it's in the afternoon today as high pressure takes over. in fact, it's going to build right on through the eastern pacific into the eastern pacific through the golden state in the next several days and that allows for the temperatures to come up a little bit day-to-day. so we will enjoy a milder weather pattern for the weekend and, in fact, into the early part of next week.
